Vivobarefoot Ultra Bloom P ocean wave

The shoes in this line are made from Bloom's algae-based foam. Their super lightweight construction will allow ever-growing children's feet the ultimate protection. Whether your kids are running around the pool or searching for buried treasure at the beach, Ultra Kids will keep up with their imaginations. The perfect footwear for little feet that won't stand still for a while.

BLOOM is the first plant-based plastic foam that is partially made from algae biomass. These algae are a renewable resource and come from lakes and ponds with a high risk of overgrowth. Algae help maintain the ecological balance, but when they overpopulate they can damage aquatic resources and the life in them. By filtering out overgrown algae from these water sources, we help to mitigate the negative impacts on the environment. At the same time, by producing plastics from this biomass, we are reducing our dependence on oil, which, unlike algae, is a non-renewable resource. We return the purified water, from which we remove the algae by filtration, back to nature, thus keeping the ecology of lakes and ponds in balance.

The Ultra K shoes do not have an abrasion resistant sole like other VIVOBAREFOOT shoes. The shoes are not suitable for use in terrain with sharp rocks and for dynamic activities where there is increased friction on the sole. Poor walking or running technique will significantly reduce their durability.
